"Reservations are encouraged at this supper club where food, music, and libations come together for a fully immersive evening. Chef Oscar Torres blends Latin influences and flavors with LA’s local produce and ingredients, serving braised lamb pasta, a tomahawk with bone marrow salsa, and dry-aged kanpachi. Complement the meal with a Smokin’ Old Fashioned or a glass of wine from the exceptionally curated wine list. Nightly live music is mixed by 17-time Grammy winner Manny Marroquin." - Virali_Dave, Jessie Evans
